Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 152 Wu Xie... Did I offend you too?

After their reunion, Yan Huai was still unsure of the extent of Yan Chen's recovery, so it would be good for him to get some exercise.

In addition, after this trip, if Yan Chen and the other members of the Yan family are willing, then a place to settle them should be decided as soon as possible. Although the Azure Dragon Clan can adapt to any environment, staying in this deep mountain forest for too long may cause them problems.

As Yan Huai pondered his next move, he glanced at the dark river that Wu Xie and the others were about to wade through, then mischievously sent a wave of pressure deeper into the river...

On the other side, Wu Xie and Lao Yang, under the coercion of their fellow tomb raiders, had no choice but to stand on the riverbank and scout ahead.

"Wu Xie...you...you tell me, could there be something in this river?"

Lao Yang was with Wu Xie, so he naturally had a part in scouting the way, since they couldn't beat each other in a fight and couldn't run away either!

"Shut your mouth!" Wu Xie grinned, took a deep breath, glanced at the bottom of the river where he couldn't see anything at all, clasped his hands together and bowed to his grandfather in heaven, then made a jumping motion.

"Go away!"

However, neither the scene of leaping into the water nor the imagined sound of water appeared. Wu Xie's legs trembled, and he reached out to grab Lao Yang's arm.

"Old Yang... let's tie a rope together on the shore!"

"......"Are you fucking playing role-reversal?

Lao Yang glanced at Wu Xie, then silently took out a rope from the backpack on his back, tied one end to a rock on the shore, and the other end around Wu Xie's waist.

That's it! Wu Xie took another deep breath; he was about to jump!

Wei~

Uh... are you fucking jumping or not?!

With a long face, Wu Xie turned to Lao Yang and asked, "Did you tie the rope securely?"

Old Yang nodded with a forced smile and patiently replied, "Jump!"

Wu Xie turned around solemnly and took a step closer to the riverbank. The tips of his hiking boots were already covered in mud, and he rubbed a few pebbles into the river, creating ripples wherever they landed.

Lao Yang gripped the rope tightly, ready to pull the person back should any unexpected situation arise.

On the dark water, the ripples gradually widened.

Wu Xie didn't jump in the end; he slid down instead because he was afraid that some huge creature might suddenly leap out of the river and swallow him whole before he even entered the water!

After being completely submerged in the river, Wu Xie judged by buoyancy that the river was neither deep nor shallow, only about three or four meters deep. If nothing unexpected happened, he would not drown.

But the other side of the riverbank was ten meters away. Wu Xie was unsure of himself, so he could only grit his teeth and try his best to swim in that direction in the calm river.

Everyone else on the riverbank was watching the situation in the water, and Uncle Tai and Boss Wang even had their hands on their lower backs, because there were guns there.

As time went by, with only two or three meters left, Wu Xie gradually relaxed.

This river should just be a normal black river due to environmental factors... Holy crap... There's a water ghost!?

Wu Xie's legs were suddenly jolted by the impact underwater. The ripples were strong, but the surface of the water remained almost completely still. Affected by the ripples, he lost his balance and slapped his arm against the water. Then, he slapped his arm again, and his head and body instantly began to rise and fall on the river.

There is a situation!

"Don't be crooked!"

Lao Yang tensed up instantly, quickly pulling back with both hands gripping the rope. Seeing this, the others rushed forward to pull as well, though their thoughts differed.

wow-

Just as Wu Xie was only a leap away from the riverbank, a huge black shadow suddenly rose from the water, its tail carrying a powerful splash that knocked the people holding the rope on the bank to the ground.

The ropes in everyone's hands loosened instinctively, and Wu Xie, pulled backward by inertia, suddenly sank, eventually crashing into the muddy, soft riverbank, leaving behind a human-shaped "I was here" souvenir.

Upon seeing this, Yan Huai's right hand trembled. He quietly slipped his hand into his wide sleeve. Zhang Qiling, who was very close to him, saw this and gave him a complicated look.

Wu Xie, what did I do to offend you?

Yan Huai understood Zhang Qiling's look, awkwardly touched his nose, and said, "It really wasn't intentional..."

"gone!"

Before Yan Huai could even feign ignorance, Yan Chen, who was standing to the side, excitedly darted out.

Well... to be honest, Yan Huai's actions were indeed selfish and harmful to others, and they also created a good opportunity for Yan Chen.

But the younger brother makes trouble, and the older brother cleans up the mess. It's a give-and-take situation, and although the protagonist, Wu Xie, may not be so happy about it, it's still the right thing to do!
